telomeres-shrinking could be cause of limited life on cells
okazaki fragments-DNA polymerse begin to copy DNA starnd
dna ligase-links two dna strands together

cancer-cell structure that produces telomerase
transplanted cells- helps with gene therapy
cloning-checking system for replication
aging - cells do not age when in culture.
